[quote=Anonymous]I am like you and I LOVE sleep. The newborn stage was hard for me but your body does get used to the sleep deprivation. It's hard to explain, but pre-baby I thought it would just be impossible for me to go to work without a full night's sleep. But I did it for months and it was ok. The key for me was to keep in mind that it isn't forever. You will sleep again. We had a Snoo and I was also super vigilant about having my kids on an eat/wake/sleep routine, sticking to "wake windows" and doing all the recommended sleep stuff - blackout curtains, white noise, 5 Ss, all that. They were both better-than-average sleepers as newborns that turned into awesome sleepers around 8-9mo. But, it's impossible to know if it was the Snoo/routine stuff or just luck. [/quote]
